Chateau Castera Medoc 2015

Deep-purple colour with good intensity. The nose displays fruity and oaky aromas complemented by forest floor nuances. Black fruit aromas (prunes and cherries) then come to the fore, alongside elegant hints of oak accompanied by sweet spices.

Starts out straightforward on the palate, with vanilla flavours underpinned by silky tannins. Black fruit notes and firmer tannins, which are likely to soften in years to come, follow through on the finish.
